You can’t ask me that: how are the new year’s resolutions going?

Happy new year! How is 2019 treating you so far? Well, I hope. Did you make any new year’s resolutions? More to the point, are you keeping them?

“Don’t ask,” you mutter as you chuck a couple of half-price Lindt reindeers and a bottle of prosecco into the shopping basket that was meant to be full of joy-free veg. Dull, wet January is no time to be stinting on the fizz and chocolate, right? And yet, every year roughly a third of British adults do make new year’s resolutions and most of them involve physical self-improvement.
